About Me

Nobody wants to see their beautiful smile lose its luster, so obviously I put a lot of effort into following the usual oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing everyday for decades. Unfortunately, I noticed a grey discoloration as I reached middle age, and a trip to the dentist revealed that I was dealing with damage caused by tetracycline antibiotics I took as a young child with a sinus infection.
